A Wisconsin-based additive manufacturing company recently came out with metal filaments encased in a binder, allowing for a two-step process of printing then heat treating to produce a safer metal 3D printing solution as well as broader use in industry applications such as
- Biomedical innovators
- Jet engine technology
- Radiation shielding
- Space exploration
- Nuclear power
“Even with the furnace step, filament-based printing tends to be faster and requires less specialized training, making AM technologies more accessible to manufacturers who don’t have large numbers of specialists.” ~ Aerospace Manufacturing & Design
